Turning Anger into Compassion

Anger has its place. It is there to move us. It tells us things aren’t right. But we don’t want to get lost in anger. We need to be conscious of it. Compassion means: Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it. There are two phases to turning anger into compassion. Phase one is looking at the situation from the other person’s perspective. Phase two is understanding that people must be in pain to act the way they act.
